(La Porte, IN) - A member of the La Porte County Symphony Orchestra is in select company. Principal Tuba Musician, Richard Watson, will be able to sit in a chair provided by an anonymous donor with his name on it while playing. 

 

Watson, who has music degrees from the University of Michigan and Northwestern University, will celebrate his 31st year with the LCSO during the upcoming 2023-2024 concert season. 

 

He also has been an adjunct professor of tuba/euphonium at Valparaiso University’s Department of Music for 30 years.

 

“What a wonderful honor for Rich Watson,” said LCSO Executive Director, Tim King.
